Get Involved:  Service Learning

Get more out of your course work and make a difference in your community through service learning.  Our goal is to link the classroom and community to put your education in action. 

By signing up for courses that offer a service component, you will not only cover the normal course content but also have the opportunity to work in a community-based organization or nonprofit agency and apply what you learn in class. At the same time you will be helping to make the world a better place. Students have worked with environmental organizations, government agencies, hospitals, community coalitions, animal shelters, and schools. BCC's Got Math? is also a component of the college's Service-Learning Program.

Students engaged in Service-Learning projects have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to their community, explore possible career options, establish useful contacts, and open up new academic and career possibilities.

Service Learning... it's about connecting: to your campus, to your community, to your future.
